About

Aberdare North encompasses the town centre and surrounding residential streets, characterised by traditional valley terraced housing and local commercial activity along Cardiff Street. The area functions as a central hub for the wider Cynon Valley, with amenities including the town library, market, and bus station. To the northeast, the landscape begins to rise towards the open moorland of Hirwaun Common, marking a transition from the urban core.

Llwydcoed is a distinct village situated on the hillside directly north of Aberdare town, connected by the A4059 road. It is primarily a residential community with its own local facilities, offering views across the valley. The area is notable for the presence of the historic Llwydcoed Crematorium and its adjacent gardens. The terrain here is steeper, with housing following the contours of the land before giving way to the wooded slopes of Cefn Pennar.
